Online Students Are Not Real Students
For anyone bold enough to make the claim that online students are, “not real students” I submit they are either ignorant, uninformed, or a combination of the two. The fact is many hiring managers value online students more than those who procured a degree in a traditional setting.
Online degree seeking students are viewed as self motivated and disciplined with exemplary time management skills. “Just because I don’t sit in a classroom does not mean I’m not a college student,” said Colleen Kelly who is currently enrolled at Kaplan University. “I still have to read lectures from my instructors, do homework, write papers, take tests, and have finals too. Taking online classes and sitting in a classroom are the same thing to me.”
It’s true. Everything you do in a traditional classroom you do online, short of lab assignments of course. It just comes down to preference and comfort.
I submit to anyone that has never taken an online class to take just one. Then come back to me and tell me online students are not real students.

Thank you for your insights. What a ridiculous statement. Online students are as real as any other student getting an education at a traditional institution. They have instructors, they take tests and they are given all the educational content online that they would receive in the classroom. It is so important that online education is available to students who either need to work full time while going to school, or students with children at home. There are many advantages of choosing to get an online degree and their reputation is only growing in popularity with potential employers.
